Greene holds Florida State's program record for career receptions with 270 and ranks first all-time in receiving yards with 3,830. His 29 touchdown catches over four seasons are the second-most in Florida State history.

Bringing NFL Experience Back to Tallahassee

Joining second-year head coach Matt Jackson, Greene brings a wealth of experience back to Tallahassee. The Albany, Georgia native spent three seasons in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars after being selected in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. After a short stint in the Canadian Football League, the two-time First Team All-ACC receiver will try his hand at coaching.

The Trojans have become a recent hotbed of high school recruiting, producing Big Bend selections Kabran Paul and Mekhi Maddox, alongside NFL players such as Kevin Carter, Antonio Cromartie, Sr., and Craphonso Thorpe.

Lincoln went 6-5 last season, winning a district championship in Jackson's first year. Greene will be taking part in an offense that averaged roughly 31.1 points per game in 2024, with a blowout 70-0 win over rival Leon High in 2025. At the next level, Greene would be joining the ranks of former FSU wide receivers coaches Ron Dugans and Lawrance Dawsey.

As a St. Thomas Aquinas alumnus, Greene joined a notable list of players who had success in the NFL, including Nick Bosa, Asante Samuel Jr., Geno Atkins, Giovani Bernard, and Michael Irvin.
